Abstract/OtherAbstract:
As information technology advances rapidly, new construction projects are becoming far more complex to successfully plan, with regard to IT. CIOs and their teams must be at the planning table from the outset, working very closely together with facilities executives and other leaders within their organizations, to plan effectively and cost-effectively for new construction projects. As new hospital facilities are built more and more from the start as "digital hospitals," the degree of "fail-safe" technological reliability that must be built into them is rapidly intensifying. CIOs must work closely with their colleagues from all the other stakeholder disciplines to plan for potential changes in patient care delivery, as well as ongoing changes in information technology, years into the future, particularly given the lengths of time the facilities being built now will need to last.
